I sat in a blind overlooking a creek edge and a small bean field on 14 different days during the archery season. Saw several bucks at too long a distance and never got a shot opportunity.
Thursday of rifle season I sat in same blind and shot a 10 point less than hour into hunt at 20 yards.
He was operating with a handicap as he had recently lost his left eye and had a pretty good tear in his hide around the eye.
Evens out as I was handicapped with a 6.5 creedmore in a Henry Ranger shooting a Hornady soft point.
